A simple diagram of a DNA molecule is shown below. Which of the following is represented by X?
(photo above)
Answers
Answer:
From the diagram X = base pairs
Explanation:
Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.
Nucleotides comprise:
a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar, one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine) and a phosphate group.Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.

Which career combines DNA technology and forensics? pharmaceuticals paternity testing environmental studies genetics
Answers
Answer:
B. Paternity
Explanation:
Edge 2020
The career that combines DNA technology and forensics is paternity testing. The correct option is B.
What is paternity testing?DNA testing examines an individual's DNA banding patterns to determine the identity or mutations of a specific gene.
Paternity testing is a type of DNA testing that is used to determine paternity and the true nature of a relationship.
The lab compares tissue samples from the mother, the child, and the man to determine what unique characteristics known as genetic markers the child shares with the mother and the man who may be the father.
The chromosomes that determine the gender of the baby (X and Y chromosomes). The mother's egg typically contributes an X chromosome, while the father's sperm contributes either an X or a Y chromosome.
These tests are extremely accurate in determining whether a man is the biological father of a child.
Thus, the correct option is B.

Why do plant cells need chloroplasts?
Answers
Answer:
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.

Alexis is using models of the cell membrane to compare the types of cellular transport. One
model shows a molecule entering through a protein pump. Which ope of cell transport is
being modeled?
A
diffusion because protein pumps are needed to move substances from a higher
concentration to a lower concentration
8
endocytosis, because protein pumps transport substances that are too large to
pass through the cell membrane
active transport, because protein pumps are needed to move substances against a
concentration difference
D
osmosis, because protein pumps allow water to cross the cell membrane
Answers
Answer:
C. active transport, because protein pumps are needed to move substances against a concentration difference
Explanation:
There are two major types of transport in living cells namely: passive transport and active transport. The passive transport moves molecules down a concentration gradient and hence, do not need energy (ATP) to occur. However, on the other hand, ACTIVE TRANSPORT moves substances against their concentration gradient, thus, require energy input.
Active transport makes use of PROTEIN PUMPS to achieve this process. Hence, in this case where Alexis is using models of the cell membrane to compare the types of cellular transport. The model that shows a molecule entering through a protein pump is modelling ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

Which of these is a characteristic of sexual reproduction?A)It takes place in all cells of the body.B)It forms exact copies of the parent cell.C)It results in offspring with genetic variation.D)It requires only one parent to form a daughter cell.
Answers
Answer/Explanation:
It results in offspring with genetic variation. 2 different mates must be used in sexual reproduction. This is because each person is different since cells are produced and combined differently in the original offsprings. If the two adults were exactly the same, the offspring would have the exact same cell traits. Likewise will be done for the offspring of the two adults. The genes may be similiar to the ones of the adults, but since combined it will not be an exact replica. In the long run sexual reproduction will result in an offspring with slightly different traits or genetic variation.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping. While the dentist worked on the tiger’s teeth, Diane made an alginate impression of one of its huge paws. Then, the dentist used two cupped hands to pull the tongue out of the big cat’s mouth. The heavily muscled organ was almost as long as her foot. With the dentist still holding the tiger tongue in both hands, Diane quickly went to work. The pink surface was rough, like sandpaper, but floppy and wet. She coated the top with alginate and waited for it to set. Her 15 minutes were almost up. The tiger, so calm and soft, would soon wake up and be dangerous again. Slowly and carefully, Diane peeled off the soft impression to avoid tearing it. Based on this excerpt, what is the author’s attitude toward Diane France? The author feels Diane is rough and impatient in her work with the tiger. The author feels Diane is skillful and careful in her work with the tiger. The author feels Diane is anxious and distracted in her work with the tiger. The author feels Diane is light-hearted and humorous in her work with the tiger.

Explanation:
The exerpt states that movements in the Earth's crust (unbalance) causes Earthquakes. When it's balanced, there is no plate movement.
Answer: c
Explanation: if there is no plate movement that means that there is a balanced force there is nothing that is disrupting it. but if there's an earthquake in that means that there are unbalanced forces in that they cause an earthquake. a force is balanced if the two individual forces are of equal magnitude and of the opposite direction. And an object is said to be acted upon by an unbalanced force when there is an individual force that is not being balanced by a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction.

A. photosynthesis and nitrate absorption
B. cellular respiration and the citric acid cycle
C. photosynthesis and dehydration synthesis
D. glycolysis and nitrate absorption
Answers
Answer:
1. ATP
Explanation:
Cellular respiration may be defined as the chemical process of breakdown of food in the cell with the liberation of energy in the form of ATP.
Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which green plants most photosynthetic algae synthesize their own food in the form of glucose. While nitrate absorption is the process through which nitrogen in the soil is significantly absorbed by the root of plants in form of nitrates.
Fermentation is initiated with the process of glycolysis, but it does not involve the upcoming two stages of aerobic cellular respiration such as the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Therefore, each of the above questions is well described above.

Most enzymes are proteins. Many cells make and use an enzyme called catalase to facilitate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The products of the decomposition are hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). Stephanie is investigating the structure and function of catalase, and she is comparing catalase to other proteins. What can Stephanie predict will distinguish the structure of catalase from the structures of the other proteins she is studying? A. many regions made entirely of hydrogen and oxygen B. the chemical properties of the peptide bonds C. the types of amino acids it contains D. the sequence of amino acids it contains
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer is - B. the chemical properties of the peptide bonds.
Explanation:
The difference between the structures of catalase from other proteins depends on the chemical properties of the peptide bonds present in between the amino acids which decide the pH and temperature by their disruption. These bonds present between two alpha-amino acids when carboxyl of one amino acid interacts with the amino group of the other to form an amide-type covalent bond.
